Vancouver House

Project Description

Vancouver House is the iconic 59 story twisting skyscraper located at 1480 Howe Street Vancouver. Southwest Contracting was awarded the project after proposing a value engineering alternative that included seven stories of a corner strut brace design, conventional soldier pile shoring system with shotcrete and waler beams. This deep excavating and shoring project progressed seven stories below grade and just over 13 metres below sea level. This design assist approach provided both schedule and cost savings to the client.
